Yields1 ServingPrep Time5 minsCook Time1 hr 10 minsTotal Time1 hr 15 mins

?A Mexican chicken casserole is a dish made with chicken, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and spices. It is typically served with rice and beans.

 1 whole chicken (or 4-5 chicken breasts)
 8 corn tortillas
 2 cans Cream of Chicken or Mushroom Soup
 1 or 2 cans Ro-tel Tomatoes w/Chilis, drained
 2 cups (475 ml) cheddar cheese, grated
 cream (optional)
1

Boil the chicken until completely done, let cool, remove from bone, and shred or dice into bite sized pieces.

2

Warm the tortillas (just to make flexible) by placing in a skillet with a small amount of oil.

3

Spray a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish with Pam and line with the warmed tortillas.

4

Place the chicken on top of the tortillas.

5

Put the soup (I use one of each kind) and Ro-tel Tomatoes in a blender and mix.

6

Pour the soup mixture over the chicken and top with cheese.

7

Bake in a 350 degree (175 C.) oven for approximately 45 minutes or until cheese is melted and the soup bubbles around the edges.
